Johnson looked pissed.
London 2012 - Track & Field/Athletics
- Thread starter Donaldo
- Start date
To think that 4-5 years ago I didn't like his "antics", he is sensational and he came out from a difficult season.This guy with the right wind and a good start can beat his WR
Blake for the 200m!
Why is Inverdale wearing pyjamas?
Michael Johnson isn't looking amazed.
Love Johnson, fantastic runner but he's so bitter.
Watch the vid of Johnson reacting to Bolt's WR run. I think he respects him enough.
Well, isn't it that he starts slow because he's so tall? and of course, if he wasn't so tall... he wouldn't be as quick!
Johnson's reaction in Beijing when Bolt destroyed the world record was proper hyped was it not?
Whats changed?
Whats changed?
I remember M.Johnson saying a few years ago that no one was ever gonna break his WR on 200m and Bolt smashed it twice.The bitterness despite being ridiculous is understandable
Feel for Christine, what a fighter and so close.
Good on ya Christine!
Johnson's clearly still a tad bitter.
Christine in tears
That's a very good point, he gives up the initial speed but gains that ridiculous stride that just blasts everyone out the water after 50 metres.
Bolt is an incredible athlete. Shame he didn't set a new WR but I'm almost certain he will soon. He just needs a "perfect race" in terms of execution. At the moment he is setting crazy times despite faults, ridiculous
9.64 was an Olympic Record, when did Bolt brake the WR then?
He's very fast
2009 World Champs (where he also broke the 200m record)
Bolt could give the others a two-metre start & still win. Incredible.
09 WC, Berlin.
So any medal hopes for day 10?
I can type faster than him. And will someone tell Linekar to feck off.
He's good at mind games Bolt.
I'm torn as to who the most talented sportsman in the world is. Is it Bolt or Messi?
He broke it at the last Olympics with a 9.69. Then he broke it again at the 2009 World Championships with a 9.58.
Track cycling maybe sailing the usual
FFS Johnson's not bitter at all. He's said multiple times he's the greatest sprinter of all time.
Tough one. Anyway, could he run sub 9.5? He's a legend that's for sure.
Terry, his transition for tennis to 100m today was phenomenal in my opinion.
I think Micheal Johnson is a great pundit. That clip of him last night when Mo Farah was winning is brilliant.
It's impossible to answer this one.
I'd rather watch Bolt, though. Blockbuster stuff.
They have other runners so one will slot in. However, with three fast Americans (those in the 100m final) the 4x100 should be close.
There will be many great future sprinters, but not many of them will be like Bolt... anyone else watch the little segment showing where he grew up, and the medical clinic that took care of him in his childhood? Really touching and shows why he is so popular... he's got a great personality.
It's pretty stupid to try and compare Messi to Bolt. One is very physically gifted with world class technical excellence, the other is physically perfect for his sport with dare I say less need for technical excellence to the extent that even with a poor start he still destroyed the field, not trying to do a disservice to either of them.
Every gold medal winner is the most talented sportsman at that sport. Pointless and meaningless to compare any of them.
Then you love TnF more than football.
